Popular actress Destiny Etiko has addressed rumors linking her to a romantic relationship with Matthew Ekeinde, husband of renowned actress Omotola Jalade.
The speculation, which gained significant attention, suggested that Matthew gifted Etiko a luxury car, leading to assumptions of an affair.
In response, Etiko dismissed the allegations during an Instagram Live session, describing them as baseless and defamatory. She asserted that the rumors were deliberately spread to tarnish her image.
Etiko further emphasized that all her possessions were earned through her own hard work, not through any man.
Destiny Etiko said …
“If you want to withhold the blessings of God in somebody else’s life and you want to grow, it is impossible. Before, you guys had always spoken ill about me. Do men give money? Even If they do, I do not know.
“I worked for 99.9% of all I have. I don’t know why some people are bitter, perhaps they are scared. I always buy a car on most of my birthdays because I love to change my car every year.
“Some bitter people just sat down and brought the pictures that I took with Omotola’s husband over four years ago when I was on a flight and he was the pilot, so some people were snapping pictures with me. He asked what was happening and they told him I was an actress.
“He looked and I greeted him with the respect of a senior colleague’s husband. I asked him to let us take a selfie because of the respect. We went there and took a selfie and that was it.”
